Let hope Steve will make him a much better central half and allow him to add goals in set pieces.

A more solid option than Elphick at the moment in my opinion. I think he compliments Chester quite well also.

He provided a stable base next to Chester which is what we required  in a central defender.

To be fair to him, he's been ok or better whenever he's played this season. Whether he can continue this improvement in the premier league is another story but we need to get there first. I'd certainly keep him in ahead of Elphick at the moment.

Played well since he came back. This probably his level.

Keep up the good work

I though he was/is a mindless, lunging, last ditch merchant who would make a great cult centre back for someone like Milwall.

He's been better than that this season, taken his chance and deserves to be in the team on merit nevermind Elphicks injury. Good on him.

Him and Chester played well yesterday, however the opposition created a fair few chances so there's still plenty of room to improve.

I have stuck up for Baker both on here and in pubs post match. I've always thought that there was a decent player in there and I'm confident SB can mould him into a very capable centre back. If he can get up for set pieces and corners then a few Bruce esque goals would follow. Good luck Nathan keep it up.

He's looking very good at the moment.  Him and Chester are proving to be a very capable pairing.  Chester is more mobile and snuffs out threats more quickly, but Baker really puts himself on the line for the team.  Probably the best bit of the team in recent games.

He played very well on loan at Bristol City. Very popular with their support.
